Our blue crayfish had eggs but since she'd just survived a stressful cycle and developed fungus on most of the eggs, we assumed they were infertile stress eggs or eggs laid prior to molting or that the fungus had killed them all. Well, some of those eggs just hatched this morning and we have a...

We got a 20 gallon tank about 1 month ago, got a blue crayfish for it, and then learned about cycling (oops). So we've been cycling and blue cray appears to be handling it well. She's a tough one! The ammonia spiked for a few days and then went down again to zero, as expected, but we've been...
